No. Net force affects motion. So you probably want to ask the question differently.

Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
Why do objects have weight?
Objects have weight due to the force of gravity acting upon them. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force pulling it towards the center of the Earth. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force and the heavier the object will be.
Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
Can the weight of an object be determined underground?
Not accurately. Weight is a function of gravity acting on mass. Objects underground have gravity pulling them up as well as down.
Is an objects mass its weight?
The weight of an object depends on two things:The objects massThe gravitational pull acting on the objectSo an object with a mass of 50 kg will weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is one sixth that of the Earth's.
How is fluid used to lift heavy objects?
Water helps lift an objects via the buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the volume of the submerged object. If this buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float in that position. If the object is completely submerged and the resulting buoyancy force is less than the weight of the object, it will continue to sink.
The force of gravity on any object is called its?
The mutual force with which every two masses attract each other because of gravity is referred to as the "weight" of the objects.
Weight of an object if it's mass?
Mass is a characteristic of all matter, including all objects. An object's weight is the resultant force of all of the gravitational forces acting on it. An object's weight near the surface of Earth is its mass times about 9.8 m/s^2.
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
What is the measure of the force of gravity of acting on an object?
the WEIGHT of the object.
What direction is weight acting on an object?
the weigt of an object downward.
Does mass or weight depend on a objects location?
Yes. Weight does.
